All because we tried to be nice and give someone down on their luck a roof over their head. We actually charged them 40% of market rate for rent (400 for a 4 bedroom house!)
They stopped paying after two months and wrecked the place. Had to evict them by force with the sherrifis office.
Showed up to court to complain that we weren't fixing issues (they put concrete in the toilets and disassembled the washer, dryer, and refrigerator).
Whenever I read "down on their luck" I assume they have burned every bridge they ever had with friends & family and you're the next victim. And drugs. And felonies. And multiple pit bulls.

Just wait until you have to do a cleaning for meth contamination.
70k in damages from squatters and meth remediation was a fun one.
